Gloria A. Huh, Ph.D.
PSYCHOLOGIST & COACH
It’s not you.
But it starts with you.
Bringing back the parts of you that have been lost along the way.
Group coaching for Asian American adults to unlearn inherited expectations, reclaim their voices, and show up more fully in the relationships that matter.
We work hard at the wrong things.
It’s not an individual failing but an accumulation of trauma and stress.
We attached and learned from traumatized people in trauma.
We collected lies, hidden shame, that we fear are true.
They make us dull ourselves and hide behind our credentials, and fail to interest our ideal clients and retain them.
If you want to change this, an absolute must for healing intergenerational trauma is to weed out the lies.
That’s where I come in.
You’ve been working hard to fix yourself. But you were never the problem.
You learned how to read the room before reading yourself. How to become acceptable before becoming known. How to hide the parts of you that felt too emotional, too complicated, too cultural, or simply too much.
These adaptations helped you stay connected and survive within your family. But now they may be keeping you from transforming your relationship with your parents and feeling peace and confidence to be unapologetically yourself.
You don’t need to become someone better. You need to uncover who you were before you learned to disappear.
I help Asian American adults unlearn who they were told to be, heal what they inherited, and build relationships rooted in authenticity, safety, and repair.
Become more of yourself–not more acceptable to family and cultural expectations that don’t serve your bicultural identity.
COACHING
For Asian American adults
Repair the relationship without abandoning yourself
You love your parents—or want to—but criticism, guilt, and old family roles keep pulling you into the same painful conflicts.
This work helps you understand what you inherited, find your voice, and set boundaries that protect you without automatically cutting off the relationship. You’ll learn to relate to your parents as the adult you are now—not the child still fighting to be understood.
Why Asian American adults?
I came to understand that the work I had done to repair my relationship with my own parents required the same root-level excavation: uncovering inherited shame, questioning who I had learned to be, and reclaiming the parts of myself I had hidden to stay connected.
As a second-generation Korean American who has lived this work—and experienced the freedom it can create—I’m especially equipped to help other Asian American adults repair relationships with critical parents without abandoning themselves or writing off their families.
The root work is to unlearn who we were told to be so we can show up fully in how we care, heal, and connect. And when that happens, we change not only individual lives, but what healing looks like and whom it makes room for.
